Hi Jaydeep,
I am awaiting my US univ admission results for PhD/DEd - after applying in December 03 and Jan 04 . I had taken the GRE gen (V=630, Q=790) and Toefl (290) in Nov 2003 and Test of spoken english (TSE = 50 /60) in Jan 04.
I think that with your BE back ground you surely can score much more in quant. section. may I suggest that you prepare well again and again take the tests and even TSE (useful for funding -Teaching Asistantships)
You can go thru the suggesstions I gave to my friends in Nov) in the following links
u could also think of purchasing software of Rs895/- from www.grebible.com based at Chennai, besides downloading Test prep software from the Net on the exam websites.
I suggest u purchase some Grammar book(s) for ex. Wren and Martin
of S. Chand publishers or Intermediate English Grammar by Mr Corder of Orient Longman.
I may also suggest u buy some Barrons or other guide book -just to get some more wrtten info on test prep.
Speed in reading comprehension is very important --u have only 2-3 minutes to read a pasage of 300-600 words -u know as u have already appeared once. So read thrillers, history books, any damn book on various tpoics to get into the habit of grasping the contents fast.
For maths - may i also suggest u purchase some good book on arithmetic problems say --R.S. Agarawal by S. Chand publishers and also do speed Maths -- of +, -, * under timed conditions (for ex. 10 ques of the type 4+6= , then 10 like 4-3= , then 10 like 4*6= --------all these 30 questions in under 30 seconds)
I think u have lot of time. There is a saying that if u have 8 hours to cut wood then use 6 hours in sharpening the axe. So prepare well and remember "God is in details". Take all the tests by Oct end --do mainatain a gap of atleast 15 days between them --I made the mistake of having only a week's gap
So long. Best wishes.
Umesh
PS = I think all univs do mention somewhere in their website about the average scores of the students admitted. But remember that to get scholarship or other types of funding (TAs) u must score much higher than the average marks mentioned -unless ofcourse u are a millionare (in dollar terms)
